(Perhaps this should be in HPR, but as it will be used mostly for MPR, I'm posting here.)
I'm looking to build a rocket that can be used as a "daily driver", park flyer on F to G (possibly E) motors, but won't go stupid high on an H for a L1 cert attempt. Sirius has the Eradicator, which looks to stay under 2000' on an H, but usable on smaller motors. I'm wanting to keep things simple for an L1 rocket, to not temp Murphy. So motor ejection, etc.
I'm not crazy about the looks of the Eradicator, I'm looking for something perhaps a bit more traditional. To keep within my specs, the rocket will probably have to be a bit "draggy". My Estes Executioner is a good example, despite being reasonably light, it won't get out of it's own shadow on an E. Perhaps I should sim a 29mm Executioner on F through H, but I suspect it may not work.
